About me

Hi, I’m Natasha — a Cape Town-based freelance food stylist with a background in fine dining, digital content creation, and recipe development. With over 8 years of experience working in some of South Africa’s top restaurants and on high-performing food campaigns for brands like Unilever, Nestlé, and Pick n Pay, I bring a trained eye, creative instinct, and calm energy to every shoot. I specialise in styling food for stills, video, editorial, and digital platforms — from hero shots and flat lays to handheld TikToks and cookbook features. My work is grounded in strong culinary foundations, shaped by my time at globally recognised restaurants like Fyn and Pier, and sharpened through fast-paced content creation at Foodies of SA. I love telling stories through food — whether it’s creating scroll-stopping visuals for social media, styling comforting everyday meals, or crafting polished dishes for premium campaigns. I’m collaborative, efficient, and passionate about delivering beautiful, appetising results that align with brand identity and visual goals. Let’s bring your food vision to life — thoughtfully, creatively, and with impact.
